Azamara is a relatively young brand in the cruising industry, having only been founded in 2007. However, they’ve wasted no time in establishing themselves as one of the premiere names in luxury cruising. In Azamara’s short existence, the company has piled up a series of awards and other recognitions for the outstanding quality of their voyages. Customers have been consistently satisfied with Azamara’s voyages; many of their accolades have come from Cruise Critic‘s Cruisers’ Choice Awards, and those awards have been given for nearly every aspect of the cruise experience.
Just to give you an idea of how well-regarded Azamara is among travelers, here’s a list of the awards won by the Azamara Quest and/or Azamara Journey in the 2015 Cruise Critic‘s Cruisers’ Choice Awards: Best Mediterranean Cruises, Best Cruise Overall, Best for Value, Best for Service, Best for Dining, Best for Entertainment, Best for Fitness, Best for Cabins, Best for Shore Excursions, Best for Public Rooms, and Best for Embarkation.
That’s all just in one year by one awards committee. Azamara has also won awards from publications such as US News & World Report, Conde Nast Traveler, and Travel + Leisure.
Here are some of the reasons Azamara is so highly rated among its guests and why those guests consistently report a high level of satisfaction with the brand.
An Inclusive, Luxury On-Board Experience
Azamara’s on-board amenities are, of course, luxury quality: hence their numerous award wins for those amenities. What makes the Azamara experience special, in part, is how many of those amenities are included with the price. 24-hour room service, shuttle and concierge services, most non-alcoholic beverages as well as select alcoholic beverages, and the AzAmazing EveningsSM series of nighttime events are all included with your fare. If you stay in a suite, extra levels of elegance, such as English butler service and in-suite afternoon tea service, are also included.
Destination Immersion
One of the hallmarks of the Azamara brand is Destination Immersion®, a policy that ensures you get the most out of your overnight stops at various ports of call. Azamara offers longer stays and more time at each location, to allow you to explore the locale in depth. This policy includes more overnight stays, more late night stays, and even a series of nighttime cultural programs, so no matter what time of day you prefer to do your exploring, Azamara can meet your needs.
Whether you want to explore the city and the surrounding countryside on your own, or you want to take a guided tour that immerses you in a cultural experience, Azamara provides you the time on shore to do so at your own pace.
